A white-fleshed salt water fish often compared with cod in flavour and texture. Found on the…

Method

Heat the oil in a large frying pan, then soften the onion for 5 mins. Add the rosemary, chorizo and garlic, then fry for 2 mins more until the chorizo is starting to crisp. Tip in the passata, beans, cabbage and sugar, season, then simmer for 5 mins.

Add the fish to the pan, leaving the tops of the fillets peeking out of the sauce, then cover with a lid and leave to cook for 3-5 mins or until the flesh flakes easily. Delicious served with crusty bread.

Recipe Tip

Make it for lunch - Spicy tomato & sausage soup

Soften the onions, rosemary, sausage and garlic
as before, then tip in the passata, beans, cabbage,
and sugar, along with 500ml vegetable or chicken
stock. Simmer for a few mins until the cabbage
is tender, then season and serve with grated
Parmesan for sprinkling.

It's not the best in the world, but it makes a good mid-week meal with tweaks which can be necessary as it's a down to personal likes. I used spinach as it's easier to buy in smaller quantities than cabbage here in in France. I used borlotti & cannellini beans and all the chorizo in a one person version with the cod just cooked in the sauce. It suited me and tasted good. My husband will probably like it and I would cook it again, 8/10

This is a terrible recipe. Nowhere near enough chorizo, way to much cabbage, not enough flavour. If you read the good reviews they doubled the chorizo, used tinned tomatoes, used spinach instead, fried the cod loin first and on it goes. Call me picky but that is an entirely different recipe. Forget this one and find a better one!

Absolutely loved this as did the family. Made the soup and stew versions and really enjoyed both. Doubled the chorizo and kale not cabbage - thanks to the other reviewers! Served with warm ciabatta - fantastic and so simple.

Really tasty and quick. Substituted the cabbage with spinach, used double the amount of chorizo, tinned tomatoes rather than passata and used paprika and hot chilli powder rather than rosemary. Served it with baby potatoes and green beans. Will definitely become a midweek favourite.

I took on board all the comments and made a few tweaks and this was lovely.
So..
I used Cod Loins and pan fried them in garlic before adding them to the stew
used chopped tomatoes instead of passata
used spinach instead of cabbage
added a red pepper
added a leek with the onion
added chilli flakes and smoked paprika
used butter beans instead of cannellini beans
I also served it with Patatas Bravas..
so didnt change much at all !!!!!!!

I made this using a tin of tomatoes instead of passata and so added lemon, paprika and some chilli flakes to give a bit more depth. Next time I will cook this together for a little longer before adding the fish to really get the flavours out, as the tomato was a little too overpowering as it was. Also added a red pepper to boost the veg levels, used kale instead of cabbage, and butterbeans instead of cannellini but I don't think this will have been a groundbreaking difference.

Made this for me and the missus last night.
It was okay, when cooking the sauce seemed rather bland so ended up adding quite a few extra little bits and pieces (pepper, paprika, etc) to give it a bit more flavour. Also added a bit of rocket at the end (had it knocking around) and that went quite nicely too.
I'll probably use the basis of the recipe again but think there's a few additions and tweaks that I'll need to use to make it right for me.
**Edit** I made it again as had all the bits remaining and this time added some chilli flakes, paprika, pepper, lemon juice, extra chorizo and rocket. The extra kick it had as well as a bit more strength of flavour made it a much nicer dish.

Just cooked this, I doubled the amount of chorizo as suggested in other posts. I agree, it was quick but not my favourite fish recipe, I think if I cooked it again I would change the beans to Butter beans and as suggested by other posts, use something different to cabbage as it could have done with a little longer to cook, but didn't seem to 'go' with the dish anyway.
